A Broken Binding box on a table, with the inner padded-paper wrapped book placed next to it on a table.

Inside the padded-paper wrapping we have a brown-paper wrapped box with a sticker on the top-right corner.

A hardback edition of “Children of Strife” by Adrian Tchaikovsky, sat on a table.

The special edition hardback of Adrian Tchaikovsky’s “Children of Strife” held at a jaunty angle on a table so that we can see the glorious spredges!

📬 What’s in the shiny black & yellow box that just arrived on my 🚪 mat?!

Why it’s @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social special edition of “Children of Strife” by @aptshadow.bsky.social ! And how glorious it is! 🤩 Just look at those spredges! 😘

📬 I also had my eye on a couple of recent “Luna Novella”s from @lunapress.bsky.social, by @deborahldavitt.com and @madeehahwrites.bsky.social.

These are ~A-format in height, but wider. Knowing I have 22 & 23 is kickstarting my completionist instinct 🤓

🚀 #SciFiBooks 🪐📚💙 #BookSky 🦋 #AprilBookHaul 📦

📬 I’ve watched a few recent @lunapress.bsky.social episodes on YT and can certainly say that hearing a reading from @skateellis.bsky.social was an effective marketing tool 🥹

📬 Just heard the delicate sound of a thud as a package hit my 🚪 mat. “That must be my @lunapress.bsky.social package,” I thought to myself. And lo, thus it was so 🤗

📬 A couple of weeks ago I was watching @scifiscavenger.bsky.social bring us an update from his reading from a list of recommended novels 👇

A couple caught my ear and I decided to swoop on some new SF Masterworks editions to add to my TBR.

🚀 #SciFiBooks 🪐📚💙 #BookSky 🦋 #AprilBookHaul 📦

📬 There were a few recs in @quitebrief.bsky.social 🧵 on SF horror: bsky.app/profile/quit...

As I was already reading @alexwhite.bsky.social this one by @gavreads.co.uk 👇 caught my eye.

Found @titanbooks.bsky.social had a collected edition. CHONK! 😳

🚀 #SciFiBooks 🪐📚💙 #BookSky 🦋 #AprilBookHaul 📦

📬 Just got my copy of @dorianlynskey.bsky.social’s latest, the epically researched “Everything Must Go” (the Notes section 😮), which has a truly fabulous new cover art 😍

I was also delighted to discover the individual art on each of the Parts.

👨‍🏫 #NonFictionBooks 💡📚💙 #BookSky 🦋 #AprilBookHaul 📦

📬 I read book 📕 of @alexwhite.bsky.social’s “The Salvagers” trilogy, “A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe” with the @readalongqueens.bsky.social this month.

Then I swooped on books 📗 and 📘 which arrived today. I’ll get to these v.soon.

🚀 #SciFiBooks 🪐📚💙 #BookSky 🦋 #AprilBookHaul 📦 #Readalong 📆

📬 It’s here too, @thetowerofstars.bsky.social! Freshly out of the box that just arrived at my 🚪 @orbitbooks.bsky.social

🤗

Even better, I’ve already read books 📕 + 📗 so I can get to 📘 very soon.

Cc @nssecretbookaholic.bsky.social who started me off.

📕 Also scored a copy of @mattfnwallace.bsky.social’s “Savage Company” from @solarisbooks.bsky.social after I listened to an interview via @adronbuske.com’s Ficticious podcast last Summer 🎧

A stretch of 7 books arranged on a table with their spines facing up between two book holders. The books are a mix of SFF and Non-Fiction for a change.

📬 Oops! New #BookHaul just landed here at McTavish Manor. How did that happen?! ☺️

This clears out my April Wishlist as everything is now available. I’m a paperback boy so I’ve had to wait on some of these.

⚔️ #FantasyBooks 📚 #SciFiBooks 🚀 #AprilBookHaul 📦

📧 And the results are in. Despite some titles releasing tomorrow, they were indeed all ‘available’ today too, and have all gone out in a single box. Perfect 🥳

#BookHaul hype 🤩 My shelves eagerly await ☺️

⚔️ #FantasyBooks 📚 #SciFiBooks 🚀 #AprilBookHaul 📦

📬 It’s nearly the end of the month so I am getting excited at the prospect of my April #BookHaul as everything finally comes available by Thursday 🥳

One out tomorrow, two more on Thursday. Hopefully everything will be in-stock at the same time 🤞

⚔️ #FantasyBooks 📚 #SciFiBooks 🚀 #AprilBookHaul 📦

A set of five paperback books arranged on a table with their spines facing up. From the left we have “Ascension” by Nicholas Binge, “How Westminster Works… And Why it Doesn’t” by Ian Dunt, “House of Odyssey” by Claire North, and a couple of collections of “Star Wars ‘From A Certain Point of View’” short stories.

📬 Who got themselves a few new releases from the tail end of March today? That would be this naughty boy! ☺️

A mix of SFF and non-fiction in this modest little #BookHaul.
